The next-generation Volkswagen Polo is set to be officially unveiled next month, but here’s a preview of sorts – spyshots of the 2017 Polo undergoing final testing, this time almost completely undisguised save for some stickers to mask the details, especially around the lights.
The sixth-generation Polo sits on the MQB A0 platform that made its debut on the new Seat Ibiza. The new car is much larger than the outgoing stubby sub-4m fifth-gen, which is obvious from these images. Looks more “junior Golf” than ever, doesn’t it?
At 4,053mm long and 1,751mm wide, the new Polo is 81 mm longer and 69 mm wider. Significant gains, and interior space should also greatly benefit from the 94 mm increase in wheelbase length – from 2,470 mm to 2,564 mm. Height is down by 97 mm to 1,446 mm, and that’s apparent too.
Volkswagen’s B-segment hatchback will launch with familiar TSI and TDI engines. The all-turbo Euro 6 line-up should not stray far from the Seat Ibiza’s.
When it was announced in February, the Seat came with a three-cylinder 1.0 TSI with 95 PS or 115 PS, to be joined by a new four-cylinder EVO 1.5 TSI with 150 PS later this year. In the diesel camp, the 1.6 TDI comes in 80 PS and 95 PS guises. Five-speed manual, six-speed manual and seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox options will be available.
Ford has revealed a new Fiesta and that B-segment hatch will hit the market this year as well, so it’ll be interesting times in the European supermini sphere. Like what you see?

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
If you are about to cross a river rumoured to infested with crocodiles, would you cross the river if some villagers tell you there are still crocodiles in the river whilst some tell you there are ZERO crocodiles in the river and all crocodiles have been caught?
This is the same with VW.
Everytime see same copy paste post
That is what the Merc fanboy(YB KK) do best.
Enough of story telling lah. River, crocodiles etc. bored of your rants.
It pretty much depends on what or who is waiting on the other side of the river.
If it were a hot chick, well it sure worth taking the risk.
But if it were Mr. Kunta Kinte himself on the other side, even if there aint no gators in the river, i will just drown myself in it.
Hehehe. Gud one guys! Shalom mates.
VW got no RV. Becareful buyers.
What….is the same….at least 95%
Have to look at it for another 7 years on the road…
Same face. Same problems.
Yes Sam, thats Toyota for you …
How about bringing in the Polo GTi with a 6-speed manual?
Looks like a cost down model
Undisguised?!?
Less disguise, maybe.
If below rm50k, worth it…
If no Proton, can lah…
Then find me a country that can get below that. I will send u there.
cantek and hensem than previous version,like it…
love it….
Don’t get fooled by the “printed” tail lights and partially masked head lamps
Current gen polo owners will be pleased with the new gen looks coz it looks the same lol
The size is significant larger.. that will come in handy..
Looks wise.. it is confusing, looks like trying to be a golf but not a golf.. happy to keep my polo
